Hi All, Well it seems my flow meter finally cracked and is not functional any more. Trying to find a replacement and dealing with Hasa is like pulling teeth so I'm looking for an alternative. I currently have the 3/8" set up. I think I find several options but not sure on the ideal flow range...

Hi, I have a 400k btu NG unit and the heater itself works fine. Trouble is the buttons to adjust the temperature are not responding. It won't allow me to change the final temperature. It doesn't matter if it's on "pool" or "spa". This has been going on for years but before I would be able to...

Thanks chem geek. I appreciate it. I'll read through your links.

We'll agree to disagree on aspartame. Half assed studies, bought scientists and big pharma/government pushing it doesn't instill confidence for "me". That's just my opinion though and we all know they're like buttholes; everyone has one. I'm just trying to minimize potential risks and if...

Well I was doing some reading about chlorine in my tap water and ended up buying a whole house filter to get rid of it. Then I remembered I had 16000 gallons of it in my backyard so what was the point :) I bought the whole house filter because I don't want to pay for bottled water anymore. My...

Is there a sanitizing option that doesn't use chlorine or some other chemicals? I thought I read about a unit that looked similar to an swg but had copper inside. Any ideas? Thanks, Joe

meh, I did all of the above and still have some seepage. Any other ideas?

Thanks for the tips. Is there a torque value for the nut. I didn't see one listed in the manual.

Hi All, I have a Pentair FNS plus 48 DE filter. It has a small leak around the separation between the upper and lower tank. I replaced the large o-ring last year. Any ideas how to stop it. IIRC I had the same leak last year but it wasn't nearly as bad. It was very slow. Even now it just seeps...

Thanks a ton. I like the shimmering dark blue look but I like the way the pebble liners look outside the water. Its different. I hate decisions like this. Anyone have any pictures of the pebble finishes (with water)?

Hi All, After 15 years my current liner is bleached to a pale baby blue and the pattern is washed out. It's really ugly so I'm looking to replace it. I noticed there are a lot of pebble patterns with colors in the browns and taupes. How do they look with water in them? I was thinking I want a...

Sorry for the late response. Hang tight for a bit on the battery if you can. I had an issue with my battery last year., It vented in the unit and caused quite a mess. We think the charger missed the peak and overcharged the battery. I'll keep everyone posted how the new one makes out. I don't...

OK let me know. Like I said I have no affiliation. He's just a guy that built what I needed, delivered it promptly and its a good product. I figured others on the forum could benefit from it which is why I asked about the discount.

Bama, it has a rubber seal that is secured by 8 or so screws so no problem with sealing it. The battery is encased in a plastic housing along with the motor. What do you think abou the discount link?

Hi All, I finally got my battery pack and charger for my Pool Blaster. The old one died and it turns out part of the problem is the wall wart charger ends up overcharging the NiMH batteries. Anyway, rather than deal with Watertech and buy a flawed system again I decided to look for an...

Hi All, I've been looking at this device for years and hesitated buying it. I have a black locust tree near my pool which is absolutely beautiful BUT it is the messiest Dang thing ever. Little tiny brown leaves everywhere. It just so happens the one area of my pool is kind of a dead zone...

Well I found a place that will make an 8 cell 9.6V 5000MAh battery for $40. He's also sending along a smart charger for an extra $20. The wall warts can overcharge these NIMH batteries which can be why they perform so poorly. We'll see if this investment pans out. I'll keep everyone posted.

Thats what I was thinking but why is the charger rated at 12.8V? Its 8 separate batteries. 4 on top of the other.

I wonder if this would work? Its a little larger than factory but with a dremel it will fit. http://www.batteryspace.com/lifepo42665 ... ewpcb.aspx I'd have to buy a new charger too but it's only $27 and charges faster and the battery has more capacity. Just not sure if the voltage is too high

The only markings on it are as follows, "PB8CELL 2400MAH NI-MH 1309" Does that help at all?

Meh! Wrong battery. I have a pool blaster-the pool buster is discontinued. I took mine apart and my battery is at least a 12V. It only measured 10.8V. My charger is a 12.8V but it was putting out 18V :shock: maybe thats why the battery is shot......

Awesome! Not as much power as I wanted but for the simplicity I'll take it. Is the battery pack the same for the commercial grade and standard model?

Hi All, My Poolbuster MaxCG batteries are dying. It charges but they die quickly and it doesn't seem to have the power it once had. I don't know what replacement batteries cost from the manufacturer but I have to believe they are inflated. What I'd like to do is somehow use lithium ion...

my vinyl liner is faded and looks bad. Its over 12 years old though. Anyone know what replacement cost is installed? I'm guessing ~$2k for an 18x36'

Awesome thanks a ton!

Hi All, My FNS Plus has sprung a slight weep at the center o-ring. I bought a replacement oring (which is giant btw). Any tips on replacing it or just install and tighten? Thanks, Joe

Hi All, I see all these shows on DIY etc and they have these denatured alcohol fire features. Seem pretty cool and look good with no running of gas pipes, digging trenches etc. I did some research and the ones I were looking at were $2K and higher :shock: Am I just shopping at the wrong place or...
